Campsite advice, please !!

We are looking for a campsite this weekend within a 40 mile radius from Tilbury docks towards the coast. Never been to this area and as we have to drop our son off. He is doing a marine engineering course, we thought to go somewhere and pick him up on the Sunday afternoon.
Really looking for somewhere with easy access to a village or town.

Its clean and not very far from the Gunpowder mills which is an interesting day out, you could visit Waltham Abbey which is pleasant to wander around and the town is okay. You could visit Walthamstow Market or get a train into central London. There is also a car boot sale just down the road this weekend too.

Hi

There is a CL at Fobbing and one at Horndon on The Hill, both just off the A13, close to Baslidon, about 7 mls from Tilbury

There are campsites that are still open at Leysdown - Sheppey. However you can park up for free along the Shellness Road - just past the campsites and five minutes walk from the town.
There are quite a few places to wild camp around Sheppey and it's not far from Tilbury at all.
You will find a few decent laybys around the Lakeside shopping centre, we've done that once or twice.
There are a few sites around Maidstone but I'm not sure if they are still open. Your best bet would probably be Leysdown.
